So he handles his confusion about women by running away. Hah! Good luck with that. Ah, the perils of misogyny. After much light-hearted adventure, he learns his most valuable lesson from a little girl:

"It's a tough world, i'int it?"
His answer: "Ayeyeye."

I'm guessing that's British for "Oy, yoy, yoy."

This is not an open source movie and should not be here. It should instead be placed in the Feature Films section here: http://www.archive.org/details/feature_films

Misclassification of movies is destroying the usefulness of the Archive.
